you go into the bathroom assuming nothing in there is gonna kill you but what happens when the black bear hiding in your shower comes out and you're caught on the toilet with your willy dangling just above the bowl and your pants around your ankles?

that's why we need another top 6 player at least this offseason. someone will get hurt and someone else will under perform. we have to be prepared to handle that.

Semin would probably be an upgrade over Parise when you consider he can score from outside of 4 feet. Having a threat like that on the powerplay with Kovalchuk is an upgrade. Then factor in a 2nd year Larsson dealin pucks to those guys without Parise being a complete Gionta passing to the goalie will make this team better.

Is Semin the same "2 way" forward? I don't know, I've heard mixed reports that he's either got great backchecking skills or that he's a lazy enigmatic Russian. wut? He's like +39920 in the past 3 seasons and that just doesn't magically happen just cause you're a goal scorer.

And **** me when we had Mogilny with Gomez we were ballin' outrageous and I don't recall Mogs playing tons of PK minutes. Now imagine Henrique with Semin and Zajac with Kovy... o ya!

Honestly, I'd rather just bite it this season and not sign anyone, aside from an outside chance at Doan on a short contract. Next year the FA crop looks a lot deeper. While a lot of them will get extensions, I'd rather just re-sign Sykora this season and save the money for then.

If your not doing w/e you can to make sure you have the best team for the upcoming season your selling your team short and admitting defeat before the 1st puck even drops.
